Smallville star Allison Mack was sentenced to three years in prison for her role in the cult-like "self-help" organization Nxivm.

Actress Allison Mack has been sentenced to three years in prison for her role in NXIVM. The 38-year-old Smallville star was one of the highest-ranking members of Keith Raniere's cult-like group as she recruited women as sex slaves. She pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and racketeering in 2019.

Mack, best known for playing Chloe Sullivan on the Superman series, appeared in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday. Along with jail time, she will pay a $20,000 fine. Her sentence is well belowthe 14 to 17 1/2 years recommended under advisory sentencing guidelines, but more than her defense team sought which was no time behind bars. Mack's attorneys suggested probation or home confinement due to her cooperation with the government.

"In the last three years, Allison Mack has turned her life around and earnestly dedicated herself to rehabilitation, renunciation of Keith Raniere and those who supported him, and making amends," Mack's lawyers wrote in a court filing. "She is now well on her way to once again being a productive member of society. Since being freed from the twisting influence of Raniere, Ms. Mack has re-devoted herself to pursuing a positive and constructive life, centered around the three pillars of family, education, and healing."

Prosecutors noted the "substantial assistance" Mack provided in their own memo and asked Judge Garaufis for a sentence "below" the applicable advisory guidelines.

NXIVM captured worldwide attention after Raniere and Mack were arrested in 2018. The organization's self-help classes were sought after by billionaires, actors and socialites, but prosecutors say it operated as a criminal enterprise.

Within the group was a secret organization known as "DOS" (short for a Latin phrase that roughly translates as "Master Over Slave Women") led by Raniere and comprised of "masters," like Mack, who recruited and commanded groups of "slaves." Women were coerced into providing "collateral" material damaging information, rights to financial assets or sexually explicit photographs and videos to blackmail them from leaving the society or telling others about its existence. Some women were branded, ordered to engage in sex acts with Raniere, put on starvation diets and physically isolated.

Raniere was sentenced to life in prison after his conviction on sex trafficking and other disturbing charges.

Mack called her involvement with NXIVM "the biggest mistake and greatest regret of my life" and apologized to victims ahead of her sentencing hearing.

"I am sorry I ever exposed you to the nefarious and emotionally abusive schemes of a twisted man," she wrote in a letter filed with the court last week.

Pretty shocked. I thought double digits was a guarantee, even if she only ended up serving a fraction of it. Even with her cooperation, 3 years is a joke.

Definitely because she's a woman.

The woman who financed their program got nearly seven years.

Who the hell approved of this ?, she should not be getting a slap on the wrist for the horrible crimes that she committed.

She should atleast have 10 years in jail, and not at some minimum security jail either.

So if you only serve 2/3rds of your sentence, and she's already spent x amount of time in jail waiting for the trial, then she probably only really got served something like 6 months? Half a year or less and she'll be out?

I'm pretty sure she was under house arrest while waiting for court proceedings.

I dont think house arrest counts as time served but I could be wrong, you never know what a judge will do
